Practice Mirrors

How many of use practice mirrors?

I was looking at trying one. I've used video but it's not to user friendly on the practice range or in the backyard. No instant feed back without hauling allot of stuff with you.

I was looking at getting two economy mirrors and putting them together because the large ones are so expensive.

Any comments or ways you have done this?

Re: Practice Mirrors

I frequently use a mirror. With a mirror you can ensure you are in the correct positions at various parts of your swing and it's easier to see if your club is on plane or not.

Re: Practice Mirrors

Get the mirrors, you won't regret it, I promise. In teaching we use mirrors a lot to provide instant visual feedback and reference to the learner.

I normally use 2 mirrors on wheels - on for down-the-line and 1 for face-on.

Re: Practice Mirrors

I use my sliding door. it is tinted and It works just as effective as a mirror. Any thing reflective is a great tool as long as the reflection is true.

Three major things I tell every they need to do improve their game.
Get lessons from a professions and follow his instructions.
Get infront of a mirror when you practice.

Re: Practice Mirrors

I have a big miror set up in my garage and can make swings with any club because my garage allows me enough room. Most recently I noticed that I had a lot of head movement during my entire swing. Im now working on takeaway and balance which is keeping my head still (not entirely) and now I see a better swing because of it. Get one it you can. Cat

Re: Practice Mirrors

I have large kitchen with high ceilings and have a tall mirror against one wall, also a line of masking tape on the floor. I use the line to set up my feet, hips and shoulders and then can see where I am at the top as I used to lay it a little flat. This has helped me a lot, I leave a wedge in there and can't help but have a few swings each time I pass through my kitchen.


Peace
DBD...

Re: Practice Mirrors

I have some big mirrors in my house too.. the best thing I've found them for is checking your position at the top.

Re: Practice Mirrors

Another tip is to get a buddy to stick some masking tape on your mirror at key angles so you can check yourself against them when your're by yourself.
